K.I.S.S. Lyrics


Andrew Mason K.I.S.S.

When Steve Jobs
Invented the first mouse
It had a single button
Point and click
Enough going on with
Learning how to drive
Just to worry about that shifty stick
Work down design to
The smallest mount of buttons
The minimum required to ship
Don't you know oh my
Darling complexity will kill you
Your users they'll be gone in a blip

The best things in life
Are clear without instructions
If you gotta explain it
Your plan needs reduction
Just put it in plain sight

Give me a kiss
Keep it simple stupid

It's easy to forget
That more is less
And start adding features
Left and right
Users knocking at the door
If they had just one thing more
Everything it would turn out right
But piling on them features
Is a one way ticket
Confusion leading them astray
The skill in design
Is learning how to find
Not what to add but
What to take away

Don't make me cut through no thistles
You can keep all your fancy bells and whistles and shove them
Where the sun don't shine
